Goal Statistics

FC Barcelona's defensive record is very strong, H. Flick's men having conceded 1 or less in 9 consecutive Champions League matches. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.3 for Monaco makes sense in this context.

FC Barcelona's forwards have been excellent of late, scoring 2 goals or more in 12 consecutive Champions League games. A PG of 2.2 suggests that run should continue on Thursday night.
